'No More Sorrow'

Chapter 10

Sick, Sick and Wrong

It's been a week, no show of Ikuto, and now I'm in a white bath towel, drying my hair in front of the mirror. I sigh and poke the contacts into my eyes, blinking my eyes from deep blue to dark brown. The hazel hair looks like I just slept with a hard guy (I guess I could've said Ikuto, but then you'd say 'how'd you know what'd your hair would look like if you slept with him' and YADA, YADA, YACK) and deep grey bags are under my eyelids. I swear you could mistake me for a FCKING vampire. I yawn and stretch, the towel falling to the floor and the cold nipping at my skin. I squeak and yank it back over my torso, paranoid because of that note sitting on my desk. I 'exeunt' and enter my room, reaching for the milk bottle on my desk and bringing my hand up, only to find it clutched around nothing. I raise a brow and look around, seeing the house duct-taped (I SWEAR I REMOVED IT). I gulp and look at the desk to see a larger piece of paper where the note USED to be. It's a note card to be precise. I lift it up to my face.

I enjoyed the milk bottle, in case you're wondering. The Characters were threatening to tell you about my visit BEFORE you read this :). I'll see you at the festival, my little kitten.

Ikuto.

P.S: I think the milk would've been better if it was from you.

My jaw drops down to the center of the Earth and the towel falls off, so I whip it back up, snag the house, and run back into the bathroom, locking the door, jamming the handle, jumping into the shower with every hard object in here (even the mirror), and curling into a little rocking ball.

Get away (from the Pedophile)

Next day, I'm wearing winter clothing and may I say five layers in the middle of summer? I feel like I've lost ten pounds just from sweating! I wobble out into the front yard and over to the mail box, shoving the arm into the slot and dragging out a sepia colored envelope and a flyer for the festival. I nod and wobble back in, getting infuriated with the stupid layers and ripping off three of them (yes, three of the four jeans, all three thick jackets, three of the five hats, and tearing off the shoes to tear off all the socks except the one candy-cone decorated pair[not with actual candy-corn{EW}]). Now I'm left with a deep red turtleneck with dark jeans and the candy-corn socks. A burst of refreshing cool air licks my skin (no, not Ikuto actually behind…). I freeze and look behind me to nothing but air. JEEZ YOU PEOPLE ARE MAKING ME PARANOID! I stretch out my spine and walk up to my room, pushing against the door with my right hand twisting the handle and I freeze to see a milk bottle NOT mine and a letter taped to it. I look around and check the lock on the window. I sigh and shrug. He always seems to get in locked or not. I pluck the envelope from the bottle and open it up.

Little Kitten(okay I have a name!)

This is payment for the milk the other day (I was hoping for the yen it took to get that…). Fix the lock on your window, it's not safe (says the pervert saying my milk would probably be better than the store bought [I MEAN WHO SAYS THAT?]). See you soon, my little kitten.

Ikuto

I sigh and look into the milk bottle. Yep, it LOOKS normal. Just to be on the safe side, I open the window and chuck it out. "OW MY LEG!"

I blink a few times and gradually shut the window, my hands remaining on the frame and my eyes blank, blinking, and all emotion other than '…okay…' wiped away.

Get away (from the milk bottle)

Next day (NOT A JOURNAL!), I'm in the kitchen wiping up cookies for Mom, since her birthday is August 29. It's the 28th. The laptop is open with Swords and Skulls on the screen, my fingers often typing while the I'm waiting for something that I don't have to pay attention to every second.

Huda Jig-Hey, when's ur birthday?

Mai Tam-Jan. 16. U?

Huda Jig-Sep. 24.

Mai Tam-LCKY!

Suddenly it disconnects and I blink. I re-click the login.

USER NAME: Ikutohater11

PASSWORD: IkUto1SuCKs7

I click the login and Mai Tam reappears. I blink. Huda Jig-U there?

Mai Tam-Yeah…it's just that the comp. disconnected me.

Kai Tam-Logged in

Mai Tam-HEY! HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH MOM?

Kai Tam-Last day (yes, she's been working with Mom these two days, so that's where she was).

Mai Tam-Tomorrow's her birthday, remember

Kai Tam-Got-

Leo Brig-Logged on

Kai Tam-WHO R U?

Leo Brig-Hey Amu. Who are your friends?

Huda Jig-Mai is Maki and Kai is Kaki, Mack

Mai Tam-Logged off

I blink at the screen and smack it on the side. "COME ON!" I groan.

The oven bell rings and I walk over to it to swipe out the cookies and make sure they're perfect. I walk back to the screen to a sticky note. I gulp and pluck it off to read.

PASSWORD + USERNAME CHANGE!

UN-LittleKat4Ikuto

PW-MaKI1cOOl3

I gap and type that in.

Mai Tam-Logged On

Get away (IKUTO FROM MY COMPUTER!)

I yawn and stretch the next morning (it's going to be like this all chapter, so DEAL WITH IT). Kaki enters my room with some package and drops it on the desk, storming out shortly after. I raise a brow and shove the sheets off, jumping off the bed and striding to the box, using the letter opener to cut across the tape. Nana and Quartz fly over from their house with smiles. "What is it? Who's it from?"

I open the flaps and raise a brow at something in there. It has some clip-like thing with a tube running into a milk bottle. I read the card.

:3

Ikuto

What the heck? Is that supposed to mean 'balls' or 'cat'? I pray it means cat. I shovel around through the box to find an instruction pamphlet. I chuck it into the box and huff, Nana and Quartz rapidly taking shelter in their house as I scream to Kingdom Kong. "IKUTO!"

Get away (IKUTO FROM THAT BOOB SUBJECT YOU BROUGHT UP!)

I guess you know it's the next day, and Mom and Step are out again. Kaki is catching a movie with Mack (step one of them getting together I KNOW it!), so yeah, I'm home alone. All windows and doors are sealed shut and I'm in the bathroom, rocking in the shower with Nana and Quartz in their house, so yeah, right now I'm alone. I can't believe Ikuto actually wanted me to do…the unspeakable. I mean you do that for babies not Pedophile seventeen-year-olds! I hear the door creak and freeze. I look out to see nothing. My eyes get heavy and I lie down in the shower, falling to fast sleep.

Everything's dark, but it fades into an altar. Ikuto and I are standing next to each other, a wedding dress only to my quarter thigh and sleeveless, a REALLY low V-neck and no back nearly blending with my pale skin. Then Kio appears and the dress changes to me being fully covered, well…there's no sleeves again, but it's a straight neckline, so HAH. Although, when I was looking at Ikuto…he wasn't smirking. He was smiling like he wanted me to be with him forever.

I yawn and wake up to find a dark shape above me. I widen my eyes and rub the fatigue mucus away to see Ikuto's midnight hair and piercing blue eyes. His black uniform is on again and I look down to see he has his knees on the sides of my thighs. I gulp. I REALLY need to change the rating on this…He sets a hand on my right cheek. "Are you okay?" he wonders.

I glare. How can he just act so stupid? "NO! You stupid pervert! Why would you send me…that?"

He chuckles. "That was a joke, Maki."

"Well you could've PUT that somewhere!" I scold. "Like I said," I try to push him away. "THAT WAS GROSS!"

He leans in, my arms weak with tiredness. "Oh, so love is gross?" I blush. "I'd like to see you tell every couple who does that exactly those three words." I gaze into his warm eyes which seems to melt my skin of unknown SORROW effects and I shake my head roughly.

"Okay, the second is when you act like a complete moron. For example, you'd let Ikuto be the pervert he is and you'd just blush and moan."

I try to push him off again. "GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE RIGHT NOW!" He refuses to budge. "CAN'T YOU HEAR ME? I SAID I-"

I feel his hand slither into my pocket and he rests his head on my right shoulder, his breath tickling the skin of my neck. I shiver and he rubs my left arm up and down with his free right hand. "Cold?" I shake my head. "Alright, if you say so."

This is sick, sick and wrong. He shouldn't be on top of me! I can't react and suddenly I feel something nibbling on my earlobe. I let out a silent moan and curse inside, unable to outside.

I'm falling to the second phase.

Ikuto pushes down on my body, so the back is hard against the tile. I'm still, silent moans and groans, and even little short pants escaping. I scold myself inside and my eyes doing but watch the ceiling as Ikuto licks the inside of my ear, the cool saliva ticklish. He works his way to behind the ear, where he has his right hand holding the back of my head up and turning it a bit so his tongue can lick the length of the ear's back gradually. Last time I checked…

…this is NOT how cats work.

The left hand in the right pocket is clutching the thigh part that's there and my knees bring themselves up, so Ikuto has to move a bit further up my body, therefore having to hunch to be able to nip the top of my ear. The right set of fingers tangle themselves in the hazel and he pries his lips off my ear to pant. LIKE HE HAS THE HARD WORK! WHO HAS TO ENDURE THIS! "Your eyes…they're brown again…"

I blink and I can't turn my head because he's pinning it there. "Y-Yeah?" I softly stutter. "S-so?"

"Why?"

I shrug. "It's becoming a habit to put them on."

He pushes my head to the right a bit and nuzzles the back of his head into the side of my neck. "Maki…when will you get it?"

"What?" I raise a weak brow.

He lifts up his head so his eyes are once more piercing into my own. "Kio doesn't love you for who you really are. It's just the fake eyes."

I roll my eyes, warmth spreading over my body. "W-who cares?"

"Maki…you need someone who cares for you the way you are, not the fake you…"

"And who would that be?" I snap.

He sighs and removes the hand from my pocket, cupping my right cheek with it and the right is pushing against the tile next to my head. "Me," he whispers.

Liar…liar…liar…"Liar…"

He looks a little hurt. "What?"

I regain my control and shove him off, his butt crashing into the tile as I push myself up. "STOP JOKING AROUND! I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THIS YOU PERVERTED JERK WAD!"

He blinks, the hurt and sorrow clear in his eyes alone. I can see he's trying to fake a smile. "Think what you want-t," he voice cracks slightly. "I-It's not like I'll ever c-change your stubborn little mind."

He stands up and walks out of the bathroom, the door slamming with his attempt to make it gentle. I hug my knees and bury my face in it. I feel something carve into my forehead. The old 'X' is back. I shut my eyes and throw my head back, screaming. The ring around my body flies off, the front tugging forward, so the back rips through the cube and body so it's floating, my lifeless carcass scattered on the tile and purple mist the only means of life I have left.

A.N: DUH, DUH, DUN!

Review please!

Check out the poll on my profile!

Will Maki and Ikuto forgive each other (more like Ikuto forgive Maki for stomping all over his heart but still…)?

Will people ever stop caring about Star Wars?

See you next chapter!
